Governance of Cooperatives Summer School
Aims
We are no longer accepting registrations.
After following this course, the student is able to:

Information
A cooperative consists of a society of members and an enterprise, where the former owns the latter. This course addresses the three sources of superior creation of value by a cooperative: the organization of the society of members, the transaction relationship between the society of members and the cooperative firm, and the commitment of the cooperative firm to certain competitive behavior due to it being owned by the society of members. The lectures highlight the themes Ownership of enterprise, Collective decision making, Incentives in cooperatives, Membership heterogeneity, and Competitive strategy by cooperatives.
